    The State Department has determined that certain culturally significant objects from abroad will be temporarily exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and possibly other venues. This display, titled "Line, Form, Qi: Calligraphic Art from the Fondation INK," is in the national interest. Details of this determination have been published in the Federal Register. For more information, contact Reed Liriano, Program Coordinator at the U.S. Department of State.

    Simple Explanation

    The State Department says that special art pieces from another country will be shown at a museum in Los Angeles, because they are important to our culture. They think it's a good idea for everyone in the U.S. to see this art.

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) plans to repatriate a sacred cultural item, a heraldic house screen associated with the Tlingit Thunderbird Clan, back to the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. This item, integral to Tlingit rituals, was acquired by LACMA in 2017 after being auctioned and owned by a private collector. The museum is in consultation with Native tribes and descendent organizations, inviting any other claimants to contact them by February 22, 2021. If no additional claims are made, the item will be transferred to the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes as it holds historical and ceremonial significance.

    Simple Explanation

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has an important screen that belongs to the Tlingit people, and they are planning to give it back to them because it's special and should be with the tribe. They're asking if there's anyone else who believes the screen is theirs, and if no one else speaks up by February 22, 2021, they'll go ahead and return it to the Tlingit Tribe.
